Nicholas Santos

DOHA – Brazil turned in a sprint medley relay sweep tonight with a world record in the men’s event and a near global standard in the mixed event at the FINA World Short Course Championships. Watch Race Video

Felipe Silva and Nicholas Santos were part of each victory as the pair had a busy night, including Silva’s triumph in the 100 breast.

Brazil managed to scare the world record in the mixed 200 medley relay, but fell just short at the FINA World Short Course Championships.

The quartet of Etiene Medeiros (25.83), Felipe Silva (25.45), Nicholas Santos (21.81) and Larissa Oliveira (24.17) raced their way to a 1:37.26 for the win.  That’s just off Team USA’s record of 1:37.17 from last December.

Great Britain’s Chris Walker-Hebborn (23.42), Adam Peaty (25.89), Siobhan-Marie O’Connor (25.10) and Fran Halsall (23.05) touched a close second in 1:37.46, while Italy’s Niccolo Bonacchi (23.58), Fabio Scozzoli (25.55), Silvia Di Pietro (25.22) and Erika Ferraioli (23.55) placed third in 1:37.90.

Team USA’s MAtt Grevers (23.28), Cody Miller (25.93), Felicia Lee (25.38) and Abbey Weitzeil (23.57) just missed the podium with a fourth-place 1:38.16.

Russia (1:38.93), China (1:39.17), Germany (1:39.47) and Ukraine (1:39.48) also swam in the finale.
